I read something somewhere on the back story of the song. Jimmy Webb was driving cross country. They got Glen to do the song and it was a big hit. A lot more to the story.

One of the most beautiful songs written. Rolling Stone called it the first extentential country song. Glen had paid his dues as a session musician, Beach Boy etc in LA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqrMd5y7QXQ&feature=related

Agreed. Very pretty song.

I was lucky enough to have been able to attend a concert where he opened for Clint Black a couple years ago. He sang this song and it was as pretty as the first time I ever heard it.

I never knew he toured with the BBs until now. Very cool.

P.S. —> HANDPICKED <— by John Wayne for his part in True Grit. He’s got my vote.
